Friends asked him to record his instrumental music for them on cassette. They chipped in so that he could make an album titled <i>The Search for the Turtle's Navel</i> (later renamed <i>In Search of the Turtle's Navel</i>). He gave copies to radio stations, which attracted an audience as well as California record store owners, and his albums began to sell. He founded the label with his girlfriend Anne Robinson in 1976.
